This is exactly why I make my own socks. -
This is one area where telemark is definitively better than alpine. Once you get perpendicular to the slope, slide your uphill foot back and your downhill...Leave a comment:

I have never found it easy to step into any tech toe binding while on a slope, or at least it's always harder than with a toe cage or alpine binding....Last edited by jtb; 2 December 2022, 04:59 PM.Leave a comment:

I would love to work with Voile or assign them the rights to manufacture the heel throw I designed, if anyone has a contact there. Even with non-F1's,...Leave a comment:

Maybe at one time OMG made their own heel throws, but every kit I've ordered from them in the last 3 years has come with a heel throw identical to the...Leave a comment:

I tried modifying a Rottefella throw, not the Voile one. There wasn't enough material to make a big difference, which is why I significantly remodeled...Leave a comment:

Yeah, the Voiles are easier to come by. I wish there was enough demand to do a run of injection molds rather than 3D print, which would bring down the...Leave a comment:

I haven't had issues with my heel throw releasing. I did have issues with the Voile one as it hits the ski/walk lever and sits too far back. I designed...Leave a comment:

Matt J yes, that's my heel throw. Here's a picture of it with an F1. Note that it doesn't fit the early F1's with the super wide lever. For that I have...Leave a comment:

If you have the newer style F1 with the narrow lever, I have a heel throw on shapeways that plays nicely with it. I use a magnet on the heel binding to...Leave a comment:

Maybe try going up a size?...Leave a comment:

I have my pivot at 50mm with LT gray (stiff) springs, 60mm with LT red (soft) springs. Based on that I second BTS' suggestion of 45-50mm if you have shorter,...Leave a comment:

Somewhat related question, has anyone been able to correct a pair of gen 1 F1's that pop out of ski mode under load? The slot that the lever snaps into...Leave a comment:

Yes, but with use the rods bend a little to match the shape of the boot.Leave a comment:

One thing I've done to mitigate boot jack is 3D print shapes to fill gaps and add ridges to break up snow underfoot. Then I cover the 3D printed part...Leave a comment:

I'm confused, so let's clarify terms. Tip pressure is purely a function of the torque about the pivot axis (in this case, the toe pins) and the length...Last edited by jtb; 11 November 2022, 06:02 PM.Leave a comment:

Great, thanks. I'm happy to subsidize your wires if I can score a set of plates out of it

That Scarpa boot is an odd duck. It looks like a TX, but without the tech toe, and with a heel slot instead of the tech heel. Maybe a pre-production prototype...Leave a comment:

Here's a minimalist/ultralight design I had printed in PA12. I'm going to test it out, but given the nature of fractures I've seen in other parts that...Leave a comment:
